Hi everyone! I have been feeling better with my twitching but recently noticed something weird that happens to my hand. When i look at my hand without doing anything with it, it looks plump and normal. However, when I flex mu palm back or move my pinky finger to the side, the muscle on the side of my hand tenses up and looks funny, like an involuntary movement. This mainly happens in my left hand although with more effort it also happens on my right. I have some pictures so u can see and please tell me what u think! I had a clean emg 4 months ago and have not noticed any real weakness but my hand looks weird and it drives me crazy! Below are 5 pictures where u can see my hand normal and others where u can se when I move my pinky or flex it back.

I have the exact same thing on both hands! Also clean EMG and clinical. Now have a burning in my thenar (burning is new today) and what looks like atrophy with certain flexes. Showed it to a neuro just last Wednesday who has lots of experience with ALS who said "there is no atrophy" there. Kind of reassuring just to see yours too.

Thank u all for your kind replys! My twitching started 4 months ago and have already had a clean EMG of my hands when twitching started. Now my twitching has gone almost 90% down but just thinking of my hand is driving me crazy. It doesnt only do what I showed in the picture but also when I bend my hand back so that it is perpendicular to my arm and felx my fingers back the side of my hand (pinky side) starts twitching or contracting a little, this also happens when I make a soft fist with my fingers straight (not tucked in). It seems as if the muscles on the side of my hand are very sensitive to any type of movement that requires extra strength. This happens on both hands but it is much more noticeable my left non dominant hand. Does this happen to anyone else!? I look at it all day and today i had like 10 thumpper twitches on that same spot!

I really dont want to go back to the doctor unless it is completly necessary!

Nope again.I just have seen in one of the blogs I read a photo on which the blog keeper holds a huge bismuth crystal to demonstrate it (beautiful thing by the way), and she has about the same ripples under the skin of thenar as you have. As far as i can trace from her blog, she never complains about any neuro-like symptoms and has minus zero concern about her thenars of course.

which on my point od view means you consider normal subcutaneous fat distribution as muscle rippes. Which is not very productive I think

Do not forget that between your muscles and the skin there is quite a complicated structure of derma (inner skin) with its several tissues involved (fatty cells, collagene fibers, etc.), so mostly you can see only subcutaneous issues, and one need really lost it as starving people do (or very old) to be able to see something related to muscles.

Thank you, is it normal however that when I hold my palm in a soft fist or perpendicular to my arm with my fingers straight out that the hyperthenar twitches... i can sometimes even provoke twitches when i flick the hyperthenar. Flicking it makes it contract a little.
